It’s not quite May, but there’s never a wrong time for a roundup of incredible emeralds, is there?
And to think when I was younger, I wasn’t exactly fond of my birthstone. Older and wiser, I welcome the month of May with the anticipation of discovering new and exciting emerald jewels that will undoubtedly ring out across the interwebs, on social, and in retail stores in person and online.
Show us that green, I say. The color itself ranks among jewelry’s hottest current trends, with stones like peridot edging up the charts as a top choice among consumers. But emerald? Forever a classic—and, unsurprisingly, looks really good when paired with peridot, for those doubling down on the green.
Here are several recent emerald arrivals to tempt all lovers of green. You can see some of them at the JCK show in Las Vegas in June, and I can’t wait to try them on as a post-birthday treat.
